So you are against charging a kid for possession of sugar? For or against? Which is it?
School policy aside, I'm for charging the kid with the crime committed. He was charged with violating the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, 720 ILCS 570/404(b), unlawful distribution of a look-alike substance, a Class 3 felony.
I doubt, however, that they can make that charge stick. Because of that, I feel they should drop the charge to violating the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, 720 ILCS 570/404(c), unlawful possession of a look-alike substance, a petty offense.
